Having watched ten games pass in the Premier League<\/a>, the former Chelsea midfielder now thinks the Gunners could win the league. <\/p>\n There has been a lot of talk about Arsenal\u2019s similarities to Chelsea\u2019s 2004\/05 squad<\/a>, a side that Cole<\/a> was a part of, winning the Premier League and holding the best defensive record in the competition\u2019s history. <\/p>\n Arsenal could break Chelsea\u2019s defensive record<\/a> this season, but it would mean that the Gunners would have to concede fewer than 12 league goals in the remaining 28 games. <\/p>\n It seems impossible, though Cole thinks that Arsenal<\/a> are at that level, having played in Jose Mourinho\u2019s record-breaking squad. <\/p>\n Speaking on talkSPORT, the Englishman likened Arsenal\u2019s current defensive strength to Chelsea\u2019s record-breakers. <\/p>\n \u201cThey just look impenetrable, and I think it\u2019s starting to play in the mindset of opposition teams now, and that\u2019s what we had at Chelsea,\u201d Cole said. <\/p>\n \u201cPeople just didn\u2019t think they could score against us, and I think Arsenal have now got that.\u201d<\/p>\n The pundit couldn\u2019t hide the fact that he\u2019s worried about what the Gunners could achieve this season, saying that it pains him to say that he thinks Arsenal could win a Premier League and Champions League<\/a> double. <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m a little bit concerned, to be honest. I think Arsenal will win the league and maybe the Champions League as well. I really think they\u2019re brilliant and that\u2019s really hard for me to say.\u201d <\/p>\n![\"Joe](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GettyImages-2201646217-1024x683.jpg\")
